a complex number is a rational number?

Complex numbers are a separate set of numbers from the real numbers.
Rational numbers are a subset of the set of real numbers.
So complex numbers are not rational.

Rational numbers are a subset of the set of real numbers. This statement is correct.

So complex numbers are not rational. Not all complex numbers are rational, but an infinite number of them are.
